Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – GENERAL
| A. | DUKE ROBOTICS CORP. (FORMERLY UAS DRONE CORP.) (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 4, 2015. |
On March 9, 2020, the Company closed on the Share Exchange Agreement (as defined hereunder), pursuant to which, Duke Robotics, Inc. (“Duke Inc.”) a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Duke Inc. has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Duke Airborne Systems Ltd. (“Duke Israel,” and collectively with Duke Inc., “Duke”), which was formed under the laws of the State of Israel in March 2014 and became the sole subsidiary of Duke after its incorporation.
On April 29, 2020, the Company, Duke Inc., and UAS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“UAS Sub”), executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which UAS Sub merged with and into Duke Inc., with Duke Inc. surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Short-Form Merger”). Upon closing of the Short-Form Merger, each outstanding share of UAS Sub’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, was converted into and became one share of common stock of Duke Inc., with Duke Inc. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Following the above transactions, Duke Israel became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duke Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company (collectively with Duke, the “Group”) is a robotics company dedicated to developing an advanced robotics stabilization system that enables remote, real-time, pinpoint accurate firing of small arms and light weapons as well as other civilian applications, with an emphasis in the field of routine infrastructure maintenance. The Company offers high-voltage insulator washing abilities using its innovative Insulator Cleaning (“IC”) Drone system. This technology provides an efficient and safe method for cleaning high-voltage insulators, improving their performance, enhancing safety, and reducing maintenance costs.
On October 28, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the Company’s corporate name from UAS Drone Corp. to DUKE Robotics Corp. effective as of November 4, 2024.
The Company’s Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s OTCQB® tier Venture Market, under the symbol “DUKR” (“USDR” prior to November 4, 2024).
NOTE 1 – GENERAL (continue)
| B. | In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of horrific terrorist attacks on civilian and military targets. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war and commenced a military campaign in Gaza against Hamas. Since the commencement of these events, there have been additional active hostilities, including military operations focused in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, air force operations against the Houthi movement in Yemen and multiple airstrikes in Iran, in response to Iranian missile attacks. In October 2024, Israel began ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon culminating in a 60-day cease fire agreed to between Israel and Lebanon on November 27, 2024. On January 27, 2025, the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was extended to February 18, 2025. Following February 18, 2025, Israeli forces retained control over strategic positions in southern Lebanon while seeking for diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute. On January 19, 2025, a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect, the result of which is uncertain. While ceasefire agreements have been reached, there is no guarantee that the parties will continue to comply with the terms of the agreements and, accordingly, it is possible that these hostilities will resume with little to no warning and that additional terrorist organizations and, possibly, countries will actively join the hostilities. Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. |
Due to the fact that most of our operations are conducted in Israel and all members of the Company’s board of directors, management, as well as a majority of its employees and consultants, including employees of its service providers, are located in Israel, the Company’s business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical and military conditions affecting Israel. Although the current war has not materially impacted the Company’s business or operations as of the date of this report, any escalation or expansion of the war could have a negative impact on both global and regional conditions and may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
| A. | Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries Duke Inc., and Duke Israel. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
| B. | Use of Estimates in the preparation of financial statements |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| C. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments which include short term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit), that are not restricted as to withdrawals or use that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less as of the date acquired.
| D. | Functional currency |
Most of the Group’s costs are denominated and determined in dollars. Management believes that the dollar is the currency in the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Group is the U.S. dollar. Transactions and monetary balances in other currencies are translated into the functional currency using the current exchange rate.
Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of comprehensive loss as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
| E. | Liquidity |
Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company has financed its operations mainly through fundraising from various investors.
Based on the projected cash flows and cash balances as of the date of these financial statements, management is of the opinion that its existing cash will be sufficient to meet its obligations for a period which is longer than 12 months from the date of the approval of these consolidated financial statements.
| F. | Property, plant and equipment, net |
| 1. | Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive Loss. |
| 2. | Rates of depreciation: |
| % | |
|---|---|
| Furniture and office equipment | 7-15 |
| Computers | 33 |
| Drones | 50 |
| Vehicles | 15 |
| Office improvements | 5 |
| G. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
The Group’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment expenses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.
| H. | Income taxes |
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Accordingly, deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax law. Deferred tax balances are computed using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets are provided for, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be realized. Taxes on GILTI are accounted for as period costs similar to special deductions.
The Group accounts for tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of tax positions in an enterprise’s financial statements. According to ASC Topic 740-10, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Recognized tax positions are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties relating to income taxes under income taxes, however the Company did not recognize such items in its fiscal 2024 and 2023 financial statements and did not record any unrecognized tax benefits in its balance sheets.
| I. | Revenue recognition |
The Group provides services to customers and has related performance obligations and recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Revenues are recognized when the Group satisfies performance obligations under the terms of its contracts, and control of its services or products is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those products. This process involves identifying the customer contract, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it (a) provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and (b) is separately identified in the contract. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or product to a customer, meaning the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefit of the product. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient provided in ASC 606-10-55-18, which allows revenue to be recognized in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice. This method is applied to contracts where the invoicing aligns with the performance obligations satisfied over time. (see note 11(2)).
| J. | Research and development expenses |
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
| K. | Basic and diluted loss per share |
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
In computing diluted loss per share, basic loss per share is adjusted to reflect the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of potential shares. Accordingly, in 2024 and 2023, no potential shares are considered.
| L. | Stock-based compensation |
The Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for all equity-based payments to non employees directors and officers based on their estimated fair values in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Stock-based payments including grants of stock options are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss as an operating expense based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company has expensed compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period.
| M. | Concentrations of credit risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents as well as certain other current assets that do not amount to a significant amount. Cash and cash equivalents, which are primarily held in Dollars and New Israeli Shekels, are deposited with major banks in Israel and the United States. Management believes that such financial institutions are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments. The Company does not have any significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
| N. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, litigation and other sources when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
| O. | Fair Value Measurements |
Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, account payable, accrued expenses, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.
Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of non-performance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.
Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of comprehensive loss.
| P. | Leases |
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the ROU asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative ROU asset balance is recorded in statement of comprehensive loss.
| Q. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Segment Reporting: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. It requires incremental disclosures related to an entity’s reportable segments, including (i) significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment that are provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), (ii) an aggregate amount and description of other segment items included in each reported measure, (iii) all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets required by Topic 280 to be disclosed in interim periods, (iv) the title and position of the individual or the name of the group identified as the CODM and (v) an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to assess performance and allocate resources to the segment. The standard improves transparency by providing disaggregated expense information about an entity’s reportable segments. The standard does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively, providing the additional disclosures as required. See note 15, for more information.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in this ASU add specific requirements for income tax disclosures to improve transparency and decision usefulness. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 requires that public business entities disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional qualitative information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2023-09 require that all entities disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The ASU also includes other disclosure amendments related to the disaggregation of income tax expense between federal, state and foreign taxes. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, inter alia, disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development). Amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disclosed will be described qualitatively. Certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under currently effective U.S GAAP will be included in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendments also require disclosing the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Transactions:
On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with eight (8) non-U.S. investors, pursuant to which the Company, in a private placement offering (the “Offering”), agreed to issue and sell to the investors an aggregate of: (i)12,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a price of $0.40 per share; and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 12,500,000 Company’s Common Stock. The Warrants were exercisable immediately at the time of issuance for a term of 18 months and have an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately $5,000. The Company recorded $1,070 of issuance costs.
NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continue)
On May 11, 2021, the Company signed a service agreement with a non U.S. third party pursuant to which the service provider agreed to provide the Company with financial and project oversight services with respect to the Offering. Pursuant to the service agreement, the Company agreed to pay the service provider (1)6% of the investment amounts received which amounted to $351 and (2) options to receive a number of units (each unit for a price of $0.40 includesone share andone warrant with an exercise price of $0.40 per share) equal to 6% of the investment amount received, divided by $0.40 (totaling to 3,000,000 warrants).
In the event that the investors that participated in the Offering exercise their Warrants, the service provider shall be entitled to receive an additional payment of (1)6% of the investment amounts received (2)6% of the warrants exercised amounts received and (3) options to receive a number of units equal to 6% of the warrants exercised amounts received, divided by $0.40.
On April 5, 2022, the Company and the investors executed an extension agreement, such that the term of the Warrants was extended so that they expire on November 11, 2023.
On November 1, 2023, the Company and the investors executed an addition extension agreement, such that the term of the Warrants was extended so that they expire on November 11, 2024.
On June 20, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement with certain existing warrant holders (the “Holders”) of certain Common Stock purchase warrants (the “June 2024 Amendment”). According to the June 2024 Amendment agreement, the Company and Holders agreed to (i) extend the warrant exercise term to May 11, 2026; (ii) amend the warrant exercise price and increase it from $0.40 per share to $0.65 per share; and (iii) include a beneficial ownership blocker that limits the exercise of such warrants if such exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant.
The Company accounted for the Warrants amendments as deemed dividends. The fair value of the Warrants modifications was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is presented within the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity as a credit to additional paid in capital and a debit to the accumulated deficit.

NOTE 11 – AGREEMENTS
| 1. | On January 29, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Duke Israel and Elbit Systems Land Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Elbit”), entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the global marketing and sales, and the production and further development of Duke Israel’s developed advanced robotic system mounted on an Unmanned Aerial Solution (“UAS”), armed with lightweight firearms, which the Company markets under the commercial name “TIKAD.” |
Pursuant to the Agreement, Duke Israel granted Elbit a worldwide exclusive license for the use of Duke Israel’s know-how and intellectual property and the marketing, sales, production, and further development of the TIKAD for military, defense, homeland security, and para-military uses.
As consideration for granting the worldwide exclusive license, Elbit will pay Duke royalties from revenues received from worldwide sales of TIKAD, with royalty rates ranging from low to mid-double-figure percentages, depending on the tiers of the selling price of TIKAD, for a period starting from the date of the Agreement until 15 years following receipt of $50,000 in cumulative revenues from sales of TIKAD units. In addition, Duke Israel agreed to pay Elbit similar rates of royalties for revenues received by Duke Israel from sales of its advanced robotic system for civil use, if such systems will include new know-how developed by Elbit. Duke Israel has requested information from Elbit regarding sales and royalties related to drone-mounted remote weapon systems, as stipulated in the Agreement and it is in discussion with Elbit. No royalties were accrued during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
NOTE 11 – AGREEMENTS (continue)
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the parties also agreed to cooperate in continuing a project (the “Project”) that has already started with a customer in the Asia Pacific region. Per the agreement, Duke Israel shall be entitled to portion of the revenues generated in the Evaluation Phase of the Project. In addition, Elbit has agreed to invest, at its discretion and pursuant to certain milestones, in the further development and setting up of serial production lines of TIKAD, and may elect to increase such investment subject to the satisfaction of certain criteria, including Elbit’s right to terminate the Agreement if, for example, the Project is cancelled by the customer. Such investment amounts will be made into Elbit’s owned assets and production lines of TIKAD. Elbit will recoup 50% of its investment amount, up to $6,000, by offsetting 50% of royalty payments that may be due to Duke Israel. No revenues were generated during 2024 and 2023 or are expected to be generated under the Evaluation Phase of the Project.
In addition to the above, Elbit paid Duke Israel an upfront fee at the time of signing the Agreement for transfer of the engineering material and support for transferring the required information to Elbit.
| 2. | On August 15, 2022 Duke Israel, signed a Collaboration and Development Agreement with the Israel Electric Corporation Ltd. (the “IEC”), to perform a test pilot together with IEC of a robotic drone-enabled system for cleaning electric utility insulators to be developed by Duke Israel for a total amount of $300. IEC is a 99% government-owned company that generates, transmits, and supplies electricity to all sectors of the State of Israel. During October 2023, the Company successfully completed its obligations under the agreement with IEC upon delivery of the robotic drone, and accordingly recorded revenues and corresponding expenses at that point in time. As part of the agreement, Duke Israel will be obligated to pay IEC percentage of earned revenues for all future transactions relating to the developed technology up to a maximum of $900. |
Following the successful pilot program conducted with the IEC, in August 2024, the Company, through Duke Israel, entered into an agreement with the IEC to provide high-voltage insulator washing services using the innovative IC Drone system.
Under the terms of the agreement, the IEC will receive washing services for its high-voltage electric insulators using the IC Drone system and Duke Israel will receive compensation based on services provided, in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) in an amount totaling in the low seven figures (in NIS) during the period that services are provided. The Company accounts for the contract as a single performance obligation and recognizes revenue once it has a right to issue an invoice for the services provided. Additionally, as part of the agreement, the IEC has committed to a minimum guaranteed paid utilization of the service, amounting to approximately half of the total contract value described above, within the first year of the agreement. This contract accounts for all of the revenues recognized during the period.
